Edit /etc/login.conf
so that the staff class has the proper
settings. The following is a working example of the staff class:
staff:\
:datasize-cur=infinity:\
:datasize-max=infinity:\
:datasize=infinity:\
:openfiles-cur=4096:\
:maxproc-max=512:\
:maxproc-cur=512:\
:ignorenologin:\
:requirehome@:\
:tc=default:
If the database file /etc/login.conf.db
exists, you need to rebuild it with:
# cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf
Ensure that the user you intend to build Go with is in the staff
login class:
# usermod -L staff your_username_here
